Opus

Opus works to create the conditions to resolve upstream solutions to complex system problems. We do this through strategic partnerships, engaging arts and culture, research and reporting, identifying leverage points, grassroots campaigns and co-creation. We incubate and deploy services, projects, media and events platforms, decentralised networks and movements proportionate to the challenges ahead.

Opus is multidisciplinary, cross-sector and adaptive, working across hyper-local, regional, national and international contexts. We work with citizens, communities, neighbourhoods, business, voluntary groups, cities, campaigns, research institutions, infrastructure organisations and governments to address the entangled ecological, social, economic, political and cultural crisis we collectively face.

Our achievements include:

• Supporting and creating movements for change that engage structural drivers.
• Creating citizen led platforms for participation and information sharing.
• Creating a sustainable, blended income model for work that is hard to value in our current economic frameworks.
• Caring for one another in difficult contexts and helping each other grow and learn.
• Maintaining our equity, adaptability and nimbleness as an organisation.

We are working to:

• Make better global connections and alliances.
• Develop our understanding of how networks and platforms can work together to achieve change.
• Learn more about who we are as people and how we can be more effective in contributing to a better world.

Citizen Network offers a rallying call that moves us as people and as an organisation. It offers a point of planetary connection and a common ground to act from.
